I purchased the Watch Pro at the London drop on 30th Sep, London. I’m amazed by its design and quality build, however, I agree with JacobThomas_GD1cBFr5x1 that watch faces, despite being so lovable for their aesthetic, stylish, unique, and strong character, need some adjustments in order to be more useful—especially outdoors, on the go.

General feedback
• The alarms are not sorted by time from 0 to 24 hours, they are sorted from oldest to most recently added, and it’s not intuitive that it jumps forth and back on time when you have several listed.
• I miss the option to sort the App View order—specially in default list view, for example, if I want to have the alarms first on top of the list. This could be done in the CMF Watch App, and then sync.

Watch faces feedback:
• Overall, despite the big apple-watch-ultra-size of the screen, the graphic design language tends to use too much small fonts for proper readability and inclusivity—especially if you are over 40s. I understand the aesthetics, but it would be great if some watch faces could have a bigger font version. The good part this is something that can be updated from the software side.
• I can imagine that having the largest number of watch faces ready for the Watch Pro launch drop on 30th Sep, was a priority for the design team. However, I would say that from now on some watch faces will need a revision, a v2.0 based on real-world use to be useful in addition to its beautifulness.
• I agree to at least having at least three user-selected watch faces saved on the Watch Pro.
Some watch faces notes:
• “Type” built-in watch face may be the only one showing time and date properly. More versions with different typeface options would be very welcomed, for example same design with the doted CMF font
• “Dial + Activity” built-in watch face is gorgeous however, I can not see the small type.
• “Widgets” built-in watch face looks half-baked. Is it the top left quarter intended to be a real month calendar? I would use the red dot info for the month day instead of the Cº.
• “Elaborate 2” is fantastic! However, the hour/min box has the text too small. Why not use this space for the hour, and the left pill with the Cº with the minutes?
• “Radial” would be awesome if the time font would be bigger. So small is hard to see outdoors
• “Mono dial” is beautiful, however lacks weekday/day date format, and font is, again, too small
• “Radio”. A dark version would be amazing; (with bigger font, of course)
